The aluminium link construction delivers some major benefits. It’s compressionless, which means precision braking, but it also allows for tight bends without kinking during tricky cable runs.

It’s also 50% lighter than traditional brake housing while being more durable. Combine these benefits with the Teflon® coated cables and slick-lube liners that dramatically reduce friction and you’ve got the best of performance and style.

About Brake Cables

Brake cables can make a big difference to the way your brakes feel, a good quality set of brake cables should make your brakes respond more positively and be more controllable, this will enable you to manage your speed through technical sections while off road or descending on the road. The invention of the brake cable, known as a Bowden cable, has been popularly attributed to Sir Frank Bowden, founder and owner of the Raleigh Bicycle company who, circa 1902, was reputed to have started replacing the rigid rods used for bicycle brakes with a flexible wound cable. The basic design has remained un-changed, but improvements in materials and technology have improved providing a smoother and more positive lever feel.

Elite SystemEasy installation. Improved braking with V-brakes and disk brake. Disk brake on front wheel required a longer section and did not leave enough links for rear brake, fortunately I had enough left over from the shifter to build the rear V-brake link. If you are installing this on front AND rear mechanical disk brakes you will not have enough links.

Internal Cable Routing - Continuous Housing?

I've got a Giant TCX SLR, and the rear brake cable routing is a continuous run of cable internally through the frame, entering on the down tube, then exiting just ahead of the bottom bracket, re-entering just past the bottom bracket, and then exits along the left chain stay to connect to the caliper. Would this linked system work for my use? I think the internal cables will be long enough, but it doesn't seem like there will be enough housing length.

Asked by: HS68

This would work, however the Jagwire housing is a fraction over 5mm at its widest, so be sure that you won't have to put the 5mm housing into a space designed for 4mm housing.
The total length of outer housing supplied in this pack is 450mm. An easy way to find out if this will be long enough would be to measure your old outer cable.
I hope this helps, have a good day.
